When Joe Francis, of Girls Gone Wild infamy, got up in it with Brody Jenner's gal pal, Jayde Nicole, Jenner had to step in and intervene.

Just in case anyone doesn't think Girls Gone Wild impresario Joe Francis is a lowlife, he's now being accused of beating up a girl.

According to TMZ, the beatdown of Jayde Nicole happened outside Guys and Dolls in Los Angeles early Friday. She was there with boyfriend Brody Jenner, of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, to celebrate his birthday. Nicole saw Francis hitting on one of his ex-girlfriends who is a friend of hers, and got so mad she threw a drink on Francis, Jenner told TMZ.

Jenner claims Francis snapped, pulling Nicole's hair and punching and kicking her until security broke it up. Jenner and Francis both got tossed, and then they got into it outside. Jenner said he punched Francis, then got tased by someone before Francis fled. The cops came, but no one was arrested.
